Where has Roymech gone!! Doesn't come up in google search + website no longer works. Where can I go now for quick and easy reference to mechanical questions?

It looks as as though something bad has happened to their site

Here is all I could find out on a website search.

The good engineer does not need to memorize every formula; he just needs to know where he can find them when he needs them. Old professor
 
As of 2012/02/13, Roymech is back up again. I could find no mention of why the site went down, or any mention of the current status of Roy Beardmore. The website has been updated in the last couple of months.

Oops! Google Chrome could not find roymech.co.uk.

Doesn't work with IE either.
 
From their web site:
Message to visitors..I am sorry that my website was down from 03/02/2012 to 12/02/2012, I have had major problems. To mitigate these problems in the future I have now started up a clone website Please note this address. I also provide a advert free website download.
Note the dates. Apparently the web site got stuck in a time warp.
 
Do you guys still use the 24 hr clock for time? Say it is 3:00 PM here - is it normal for you to say 1500 hour??
 
It's not uncommon to say 1700 h; but the 24h-clock gets used mostly in written communication (like times for meetings, TV-guides, in calendars, ...).
In spoken language, the 12h-clock is mostly used.
 
Remember in the UK it is day month year.

..and in Australia and the rest of the world..

If you are concerned about the order of documents then I would use the ISO system year month date.

Old site still doesn't work for me (been down for a couple of months not days) but the clone does so all good.
 
Actually, according to ASME it should be year, month, day on drawings. However, I don't think I've ever actually seen a drawing with that date format.
